I had a worse problem when I helped my parents recover their backups. The backup itself had a fair amount of folder nesting, but was within the 256 character limit. At some point, they moved the backup into another folder that had the date, and computer for the backups. When they tried to access it, Windows gave a cryptic error message about corrupted files.
